I think when I had my daughter, she’s 5 years and will be 6 this year it opened me up to not just being a dad but the music. What I ask myself is 5 years from now will my daughter be proud to play my music when she is with her friends?? So you know then I can’t do slack music or certain type of music and that is where the growth stems froM.
